Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in north-east Nigeria near the town of Chibok, where the Islamic militants abducted nearly 300 girls in April, most of whom are still missing.

Alhaji
Tar, a member of one of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko
Haram's attacks, said the men arrived in Garkin Fulani at midday on
Thursday and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint.

The
group also kidnapped three young men who tried to stop the abduction,
and drove to an unknown location in the remote stretch of Borno state,
he said.

News of the latest kidnapping came as the people of Maiduguri buried more than 100 bodies almost a week after a Boko Haram attack.

Local leaders said many more victims of the attacks had yet to be found.
